A ‘Sopranos’ theory

As the tension builds toward the May 20 finale of David Chase’s delectable drama, Tony’s self-destructive behavior continues. The guessing game regarding his fate is only that, but one character is showing newfound signs of leadership. She’s building houses (one even passed inspection although it skirted the legal code). Carmela’s laying a foundation. She’s not above taking a wad of bills from her husband’s stash and she’s quite aware how the family business works. “Is this it?” she asked at the start of this season, awaiting the FBI’s knock. Almost. She’s smarter than the goons hanging at the Bada Bing and she commands loyalty. A new boss for a new era? Just a theory.

NO WAY. It would be totally out of context. This is a group who murdered one of it’s best earners for being gay. This is not a signal for change. When Tony went to Italy remember how that woman boss was thought by her American counter parts?

My money’s on Bobby. When he beat Tony in that fight, he showed him that he has what it takes to be the new “big dog”.
The rest of the mooks in the family are too dumb to take over the operation without screwing it up. There will never be a female leading an Italian Mafia Family

My theory is the Adrianna some how made it from the woods alive, and is helping them build a case. Why else would they mention her mother so often and/or have the Ade flashbacks as often as they have. And how did the FBI know where to look for Tonys first kill? They have someone working with them. I bet she is alive!

It appears, increasingly, that Christopher is the person who will bring Tony down — either by killing him or helping the FBI bring him down. It might be a “red herring”, but Christopher is angry for a number of reasons (to include Tony taking out Adriana), and he seems to be more and more concerned how his mob connections are affecting his own family. In the end, I won’t be surprised if it him who leads to Tony’s demise.

Joanne Ostrow has been watching TV since before "reality" required quotation marks. "Hill Street Blues" was life-changing. If Dickens, Twain or Agatha Christie were alive today, they'd be writing for television. And proud of it.
